Quick Reference
What Is Ivermectin?
Ivermectin is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic medication widely used in veterinary medicine to treat and prevent certain internal and external parasites. It works against parasites such as heartworms (preventive dosing), mites, lice, and some intestinal worms. Compounded capsules allow for precise dosing when commercial products are unavailable or unsuitable.
How Ivermectin Works in Pets
Ivermectin works by binding to parasite nerve and muscle cells, causing paralysis and death of the parasite. This mechanism is highly effective against many parasites while remaining safe at prescribed doses. Use and dosing are highly species- and breed-specific and must always follow veterinary guidance.
